Passion of the Earth Card Set

Description

The Passion of the Earth card set is a project of artwork by Melanie Weidner and poetry by Prioress Sr. Teresa Jackson that seeks to evoke both the story of the creation and the traditional “stations of the cross” and calls us to a new relationship to the gift of God’s creation. The project echoes the Passion of Christ by showing passion, exploitation and destruction currently being suffered by our earth. It also shows God’s passion in creating this beautiful world which came to birth as an expression of God’s love. Finally, the project echoes the deep creative energy which God and humanity bring to bear in seeking to heal the earth from the destructive forces assailing it.

The seven narrative stations tell a new story of creation. It begins with allusions to the story of Genesis but leads into the new story, the present moment of decision: Will the passion of the earth become our passion?
